Beginnings provides a loving, caring environment where children learn through play, skills that will be important all through their lives.
Social and emotional development is as important as academic achievement.
Activities geared to each age group are offered to enhance this natural growth.
Children are encouraged to make appropriate decisions, exercise independence and resolve conflicts under the guidance of highly qualified teachers who know when to step in and assist the children.
Beginnings Learning Center offers caring parents an exceptional preschool/kindergarten environment for their children.
Beginnings is small enough so that each child gets individual attention, but large enough so that children are exposed to a wide range of friendships and experiences.
The emphasis is on social and emotional growth. Children mature by developing standards of behavior which will service them as they continue their educational experience.
